The New Zealand Men’s Summit 2019 is going south this year to Otago University Rugby clubrooms in Dunedin on Friday 12 April.

It’s time to recognise the male contribution to society as Men Matter Too.

Following successful Men’s Summits in Christchurch, Wellington and Auckland, the move to Dunedin is a great opportunity to broaden your men’s network and spend time in the deep South.

Whether you crash on a mate’s couch, in a cabin, or at a motel, the organizers urge you to get a cheap flight or make the road trip to connect to a varied and informative program. Later in the day there is opportunity for your input to help redress the pressures males find themselves under.

Many women support men in the drive to real gender equality. They also see governmental neglect and judicial abuse that has delivered high male suicide and defathered families as a serious threat to the wellbeing of their sons, grandsons, brothers and uncles. Intelligent observers are aware of the disengagement of males from society. Not good news for females either.

If you are in Dunedin on Thursday prior, there is a meet and greet at the University Rugby Clubrooms from 5.00pm. Refreshments will be available. Casual lunch and tea is included in the cost for Friday. Socialising and entertainment follows a stimulating day.

See the program and rego to be setup by the end of the month on websites for Men’s Summit, Menz Issues and Families 4 Justice or txt your email address to co-ordinators to get your info.

Send this release and program and rego on to friends, media websites and other interested parties.
See you in Dunedin!

The idea of the Men’s Summit going South is also probably not the best choice of words.

“Deteriorate or decline, as in The stock market is headed south again . This expression is generally thought to allude to compasses and two-dimensional maps where north is up and south is down. However, among some Native Americans, the term was a euphemism for dying, and possibly this sense led to the present usage.”

Men protecting themselves from female violence.
That could be a good topic.

A disgruntled woman threw nutmeg in her ex-boyfriend’s face and punched him repeatedly following their break-up, the Dunedin District Court has heard.
An angry woman threw nutmeg in the eyes of her former lover, then swung a golf club at another man she mistook for her ex.

The 26-year-old woman, who was granted interim name suppression, appeared before Judge Michael Crosbie in the Dunedin District Court on Tuesday morning.

The woman’s relationship with the victim ended in early February, several days before her actions resulted in her being charged with assault and assault with a weapon.

The woman, who was living in Queenstown at the time, went to the property of her former lover about 11pm on February 7, the police summary of facts said.

She was angry the man had broken up with her and visited his caravan while he was sleeping.

She began punching him in the face, then threw nutmeg in his face.

He tried to stop her as she gouged his hands and punched him repeatedly.

The incident continued outside as the man fled to a friend for safety.

The woman picked up a golf club and warned him to “man up”, but mistook another man who had heard the drama unfolding for her ex-boyfriend.

“Are you scared, you coward,” she asked the other man.

He raised his arm to protect his head as the woman swung the golf club at him.

Her ex-boyfriend stayed in a sleep-out as she banged on the walls and told him to come out.

Both men suffered bruising and swelling from the assault.

Police said the accused was co-operative. She had not previously appeared in court and was remanded on bail to appear again next month for sentencing.

The woman’s counsel, Anne Stevens QC, indicated she would apply for a discharge without conviction.
